Ship wakes: Kelvin or Mach angle?
From the analysis of a set of airborne images of ship wakes, we show that the wake angles decrease as U(-1) at large velocities, in a way similar to the Mach cone for supersonic airplanes. This previously unnoticed Mach-like regime is in contradiction with the celebrated Kelvin prediction of a constant angle of 19.47° independent of the ship's speed. We propose here a model, confirmed by numeri...
متن کاملScattering Analysis for Ship Kelvin Wakes on Two-dimensional Linear and Nonlinear Sea Surfaces
The ship Kelvin-wake models on two-dimensional (2-D) linear and nonlinear sea surfaces are combined with the second-order small-slope approximation method (SSA-II) to comparatively study the corresponding electromagnetic (EM) scattering characteristics. The nonlinear sea-surface models include the Choppy Wave Model (CWM) and the second-order Creamer model (Creamer (2)). Considering the limitati...
متن کاملOscillations in cylinder wakes at Mach 4
The wake behind a circular cylinder in Mach 4 flow is examined experimentally in the Reynolds number range 2× 104 to 5× 105. Periodic oscillations of the sliplines in the wake are observed. The Strouhal number of the oscillations based on the diameter of the cylinder is found to increase monotonically from 0.30 to 0.50 with increasing Reynolds number. If the Strouhal number is formed using the ...
متن کاملSAR Imaging of Ship Wakes and Inverse Ship Wake Problem
Airborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images of sea surface often reveal ship wakes, which appear in a form of bright and dark streaks. It is believed that some of them pertain to the ship generated Kelvin wave system and some to the ship turbulent wake (Reed et al., 1990). The streaks in SAR images are sufficiently narrow to consider them as straight segments. Assuming that the location and ...
متن کاملAcoustic imaging of surface ship wakes
Techniques for three-dimensional visualization of a surface ship bubbly wake using a high-frequency narrow beam profiling sonar are reported. Instrumentation, experimental set-up, and data processing are described. An Imagenex profiling sonar is mounted on the side of a boat at about 1 m below the water surface. The narrow pencil beam scans the water through the sectors whose plane is perpendic...
